James Bond 24: 10 Actors Who Should Play The Villain
9. Jeremy Irons
Whilst he is known for his incredible stage work, particularly in Shakespearean productions, he is also well known in the film world for playing Simon Gruber in Die Hard With A Vengeance. Irons is a wonderful actor with a many great talents who could take on the role of villain with wonderful diction and poise.
Type of Villain: International Terrorist Out To Destroy The United Kingdom8. James McAvoy
Primarily known for playing the younger version of Charles Xavier in the X-Men films, I honestly believe that McAvoy could challenge Craig on a level such as can be seen in the TV series Sherlock with the showdown between Moriarty and Holmes. McAvoy could certainly draw in more of a female audience, because Bond is a male film. Type of Villain: Cyber Terrorist/Revenge Killer
